They are a core topic in cardiovascular physiology and bedside diagnosis (physical examination). Clinicians use Heart Sounds during auscultation to screen for valve disease, heart failure, and hemodynamic changes. They are commonly assessed with a stethoscope and interpreted alongside vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), and echocardiography."}
